Gigabyte releases a range of 4.5″ to 5″ from qHD to Full HD, using MediaTek MT6589 to MT6589 Turbo to Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, providing a mid-range of smartphones with quality screens and original designs, running smooth vanilla Android, dual-sim card slots, with dual-sim dual-active modems on the Qualcomm S400 device, even supporting to host a voice conference call through the phone.
ARM Cortex-A12 is designed to be a follow-on for the ARM Cortex-A9, providing 40% more performance over ARM Cortex-A9 at the sub-$300 price point. Compatible with ARM Cortex-A15, large physical addressing over 4GB of memory, virtualization, big.LITTLE with ARM Cortex-A7. This is ARM providing an in-between solution above ARM Cortex-A9 but still below ARM Cortex-A15, to reach the market by the second half of 2014. Here at Computex 2013, James Bruce, ARM’s Mobile Strategist, provides an overview of the new ARM Cortex-A12, explaining how the mid-range ARM Powered device market is designed, expecting above 400 million mid-range ARM Powered smartphones to be shipped each year in 2014, thus providing performance above ARM Cortex-A7 and above ARM Cortex-A9 but still below the cost of implementing an ARM Cortex-A15 or ARM Cortex-A57 solution at that point.
ARM launches the Mali-T622 GPU for ARM Cortex-A12 devices to be released to the market starting in 2014, enabling advanced GPU features for the next mid-range smartphones, including GPU Compute, Renderscript, Open CL, Open GL3 and more. ARM Mali-T622 is 1-2 cores, while Mali-T624 is 1-4 cores and Mali-T628 is 1-8 cores, positioning it for mid-range devices of next year.
ARM is launching the ARM Mali-V500 video encode/decode IP solution for the new ARM Cortex-A12 with Mali-T622 targetted at the mid-range smartphones reaching the market by the end of 2014. The performance is upwards 120fps 4K video encode and decode. HEVC/VP9 may be available already when combining the GPU compute capabilities of the Mali-T622 or other latest Mali graphics cores that support GPU compute.
ARM is taking over the whole Point-of-sale market, providing systems for touch screen based point-of-sale.

Forzen shows their whole range of latest tablets at Computex.
Onyx International is reaching a fully stable Android on E Ink state, here showcasing their latest 6″ capacitive Android e-reader as well as their 4.3″ capacitive Android E Ink phone. The Android E Ink phone’s touch panel is still being finalized, I am borrowing the Android E Ink phone for the next 2-3 days, let me know what I should test and show on it. I’ll try to compare it with other LCD and AMOLED smartphones in direct and indirect sunlight if the weather permits here in Taipei. Onyx’s 6″ E Ink e-reader is quite stable, they still want to improve some of the Android UI for E Ink e-readers, but now it’s already stable. I am also borrowing their Android E-reader for 2-3 days, let me know what I should test on it, I’ll compare it with the Kindle Paperwhite.
Latest Asus Transformer on Tegra4 Quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 with a new 2560×1600 high resolution 10.1″ display. Launch is to happen in Q3 this year, they expect the price to be $399 without the Dock, $499 without the Dock. Battery life may be 10 hours even with the high resolution display.
Here’s Asus’s latest extremely overpriced quite useless use of Android on top of a Wintel machine, using the latest most expensive Intel processor, and instead of using ARM on the Android mode, for no good reason, Asus makes yet another Intel x86 mistake, there’s yet another Intel Atom for Android mode. This over-expensive Intel Asus machine is probably going to cost $1500 and nobody is going to buy it. But here again, Johnny Shy likes to use the time of world media to show off yet another concept that is not going to interest nearly anyone. Good thing the Intel CEO has just been replaced, what the purpose is for this type of product is quite remote. Is Asus going to sell more than a few thousand of these overpriced quickly outdated devices worldwide?
Asus launches their new $149 MediaTek MT8125 Quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 with SGX GPU, no HDMI/MHL, but it has a MicroSD card slot, MicroUSB, Audio Jack, battery capacity is big enough for about 10 hours of use depending on use. This is thus not a new Nexus, it’s a new Asus, expect only the higher cost skew to be available, the $129 8GB skew is maybe not going to be much available outside of what Asus considers developing markets.
Again, here’s Asus working with Intel on a likely overpriced underperforming product that likely is not going to sell much. Hasn’t Asus learnt from the success of its Nexus 7 and previously Transformers to know that success come by using ARM and not doing anything on x86. But anyways, here’s yet another Asus Fonepad that is not a transformer, not sliding a phone into a tablet (concept that nobody wanted), here instead using their spelling mistake at promoting a Galaxy Note competitor on an Intel x86 processor, thus automatically unlikely to sell any more than a third rate market failure. Even the relatively unpopular Asus Transformer line on Nvidia Tegra processors have sold more than all the worlds Intel Ultrabooks combined. Learn the lesson Asus, would you? Go ARM, Go Big, if you still go x86 you go bust. Is Asus a lost cause? Why all the lame waste of time working with Intel? What does Asus get from that partnership? Foes Intel give Asus a rebate on bundling of Intel processors for ranges? Is Johnny Shih comfortable doing such lame Intel x86 deals year after year? Does Johnny Shih never stop up and take action on the always under-performing, always sub-par, always unpopular Intel x86 based solutions? Why does Asus keep working with x86? How many times does Asus have to fail with Intel before they learn the lesson?
Here at Computex 2013, ARM has announced the new ARM Cortex-A12, 40% faster than ARM Cortex-A9, to be used in big.LITTLE mode with ARM Cortex-A7, it’s thus a new skew in between, optimized for both Global Foundries (28nm SLP) and TSMC (28nm HPM). I’ll try to interview someone from ARM about ARM Cortex-A12 here at Computex (if I can find them). Check back for 100 videos from Computex here in Taiwan, check back for my new dozen videos from some of the latest most interesting Shenzhen factories, a lot of the latest best Shenzhen hardware makers coming up.
Global Circuit is about to enhance their production capacity, currently making and selling 60K tablets per month.
